OMAHA, Neb. -- Have you ever been visiting friends in another state, listening to the radio, when a 311 song comes on? You turn it up and say, "Hey, these guys are from Omaha."
Well 311 loves you, too. They'll kick off Omaha's 150th birthday weekend with a free concert July 16. From 7 to 10 p.m. at Memorial Park, on 60th and Dodge streets, 311 will come back to the city where it all began.
The band members grew up in Omaha and developed their funk/reggae/rap/rock-fusion sound locally. They've made seven albums, which produced six Top 10 hits.
The band's name has morphed. At their first gig in Omaha June 10, 1990, they called themselves the Fish Hippos. Soon, they were 311, the police code for indecent exposure.
